my country's traditional opera culture has a long history, among which Yue Opera is also known as the "second national opera" after Peking Opera, and is also the most widely spread local opera. The success of the new national style environmental Yue Opera "New Dragon Inn" has ignited the enthusiasm of a group of young audiences for traditional culture. The offline performance repertoire breaks the traditional stage performance form of Yue Opera, and directly "synchronizes time and space" with the audience through the small theater environmental performance form, integrating the audience seats with the stage, and entering the New Dragon Inn together to immerse in the Yue Opera performance.

This innovation that subverts tradition makes Yue Opera conform to modern aesthetics and approach the general public, especially loved by young people. Tickets for offline performances are hard to come by. However, limited theater space and resident performances cannot meet the needs of an increasing number of audiences. Film works can bring offline Yue Opera performances to the big screen through national cinema chains, allowing more audiences across the country to appreciate this classic.

In order to allow the audience to see the real stage performance effects, during the early preparation process, the film shooting team conducted a detailed observation and record of the offline performances, and repeatedly polished the film shooting plan, especially hoping to preserve the original feeling of the live performance. Therefore, a plain shooting technique was used to document the offline performances, reduce the film art embellishment techniques, and cleverly capture the fleeting delicate emotions in the performances. Through the transformation of light and shadow and lens tracking, the audience who walks into the theater can not only feel the immersive atmosphere of watching the performances offline, but also see the details that are difficult to see in the performances on the big screen.

As a pioneer of Yue Opera documentary films, "New Dragon Inn (Stage Documentary Film·Yue Opera)" brings the Yue Opera stage to the big screen through plain documentary shooting. It not only deeply integrates Yue Opera art with film art, contributes to the revival and inheritance of traditional culture, but also provides a new channel for the dissemination of Yue Opera.

As China's intangible cultural heritage, Yue Opera, with its unique artistic form and profound cultural heritage, has demonstrated the charm of traditional Chinese culture in the process of cultural export, and promoted the mutual learning and exchange between Chinese and foreign cultures. Through the presentation of film works, Chinese opera, a cultural name card, can go to a wider international stage through more overseas screens.
